Checking the Traps

He may have jumped. He may have been pushed. Can this mother-daughter sleuth team find the truth? "Weaves mystery, suspense and humor in equal measure." —Val Penny, author of Hunter's Chase

This audiobook is narrated using advanced digital voice technology for clear, natural-sounding storytelling.

Isabel Long is still suffering from the injuries of her last investigation. But that doesn't stop her from working at a bar or taking on a new case from Gary Beaumont, a local drug dealer who once terrorized her. Certain his half-brother didn't jump off a bridge, Gary is convinced somebody pushed him.

With some investigative help from her ninety-three-year-old mother, Isabel soon unearths a list of suspects, including Gary's business associates and a famous poet who plagiarized his brother's work for an award-winning book.

But as Isabel gets embroiled in a twisted game of cat and mouse, she had better be sure she doesn't end up caught in a trap . . .

"A twisty small-town mystery that stays with you." —J. V. Baptie, author of The Forgotten

"Wonderful characters . . . well worth your time." —Joseph Lewis, author of Spiral into Darkness
